I had asked a questions a few weeks ago in regards to developing red spots under my areola the day after my daughter squeezed the area near there. This happened probably abou 5 weeks or so ago. It looks like broken blood vessels and probably about 7 small spots. This has not changed in regards to amount. I am concerned because they have yet to fade away. I have no other issues with my breast. Is it possible that these red spots will never go away? I have a smiliar spot on my foot (looks like due to sandels); but I have had them for years, and still as red. Could this be an indicator of breast cancer if they never fade away??View Thread

I would definitly follow-up with the soreness and discoleration. That could have just been part of the healing process for you, but I would look into the pain you're experiencing. I was sore for about a week with them, but never so prolonged. Good luck!View Thread

You had kindly answered my concern for developing petechia (sp?) on my right breast, following my daughter squeezing the area the day before. I know you mentioned that it may take weeks to heal, but I am starting to get worried as 2 weeks later, and it is still as red as it was from day one. Is this normal? It has not changed, spread, still the same spots, but just still very red. Could it be possible that these spots could possibly never subside?View Thread



I am a 34 yr old mother of two. Stopped nursing 7 months ago.
About 4-5 days ago I noticed a collection of red pin size dots under my skin, just below my areola. My daughter did squeeze my skin around that area, not sure if that was the exact location or not. I have not other issues with my breast, just these tiny red dots. They are not raised, nor itchy. It is possible for this to occur on the breast after being pinched? They are still pretty red and have not seemed to lighten up. WIll they, and if so, how long to do so? Is this a sign of something else I should be worried about? Thank you!View Thread

This am I noticed a collection of tiny red dots under my right areaola. They seemed to be right under the skin as they don't feel raised. There is no swelling, redness around it, just the red dots. I do see some pimples right near my nipple, but I think that may be unrelated as that is right on my areola. When I googled this it talks about inflammatory breast cancer, and of course I am freaked out now. They look like dark broken blood vessels. It could be due to my daughter grabbing my breast yesterday, but could her pinching the skin create this appearance? The best way to describe it is what some babies have a stork bite (rasberry) it is red and odd shapped like that. Are there other symptoms that would be associated with IBC that I would need to have? Thank you for your help!!View Thread
